I was reading this tip about embedding image tags to messages and todos.

Why put images when you can do simple html chicklets like in the overview page?
I don’t know if someone suggested this tip already, but here’s what we do:

<span style="text-align:center;padding:1px;background-color:#ff9900;color:white;">Urgent</span>

If you use a typing saver like Textexpander or Quickeys on Mac, it makes entering these easy and quick.

Now you can make your todo list look like a bag of M&Ms! :-)

Interesting tip!

<span style="text-align:center;padding:1px;background-color:#00FF00;color:#00FF00;">.......</span><span style="text-align:center;padding:1px;background-color:#E0E0E0;color:#E0E0E0;">...</span> Progess 70%.

:)

Interesting tip in reply! :)
I was wondering if that was possible.
Pretty neat Michael, thanks.

No way, thank YOU.

=)

I played a bit more with this, cleaned it up, added numbers so you don’t have to count the dots and a tooltip!

<span title="Progress 70%" style="background-color:#c8c2b8;color:#c8c2b8;">1234567</span><span style="background-color:#e0e0e0;color:#e0e0e0;">890</span>

Why can’t we use images here like we can with messages?

This is pretty neat, I like how Highrise allows you to specify the type of category before “tasks” (todos). This seems like too much effort/hacky for my liking though.

Except they don’t display nicely on the dashboard.
